First make sure the wireless radio is turned on. This can be either a switch or a key on the keyboard. I think it is a key on the Aspire One. From the desktop, you should be able to pull down a list of wifi ssids. Or as we discussed from a terminal iwlist should give you a list. If you can see a list, then your wireless radio is working.
In the case above since you have a static IP address you need to make sure that: 1. you have a netmask set up as 255.255.255.0 2. The router, 192.168.1.1, is set up as the gateway. I tend to use the router as my primary DNS. Make sure the router is turned on and working. This could possibly be your problem. -- Jerry Feldman <[email protected]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90
